“South Florida is a shopping mecca, and The Colonnade Outlets offers a mix of high-fashion designers and world-renowned brands found nowhere else,” Sawgrass Mills general manager Luanne Lenberg said in a press release.

The Colonnade Outlets, the luxury shopping area of Sawgrass Mills Mall, is currently undergoing an expansion that will add 80,000 square feet of retail space and two upscale restaurants. One of them, Matchbox, will be an American pizza bistro that's set to open in early 2016.

By the time the expansion is complete, The Colonnade will have gone from offering five restaurants and 50 stores to seven restaurants and more than 70 shops. In addition, The Colonnade will see an enlarged Tory Burch location and the division of Theory into separate men's and women's boutiques.

Sawgrass Mills will also offer a new 1,700-space parking garage adjacent to Neiman Marcus Last Call by next summer.
